Reaching the same level of sales figures as the PS4 Pro, it seems that the PS5 Pro cannot keep up with the pace of its mid-generation predecessor and is lagging behind.
Underlining this data in Circana’s latest financial report for January 2025, analyst Mat Piscatella reported a 15 per cent drop in hardware sales, as previously reported.
PlayStation 4 Pro managed to surpass its successor
The PS5 Pro device has announced that it lags behind the PS4 Pro in terms of sales figures. It is worth remembering that the PS4 Pro was released at $ 399.99, while the PlayStation 5 Pro started at $ 699.99. In short, when we take inflation into account, the difference seems huge.

It is difficult to say whether Sony expects such a trend in PlayStation 5 Pro sales. As a result, we can assume that at such a price, the PS5 Pro will only be available to the richest gamers.
In addition, the release of important games such as Monster Hunter Wilds or the upcoming GTA 6 will likely boost sales of the PS5 Pro, which will be the console where these games will perform best.
PlayStation 5 Pro draws attention with its more powerful hardware and advanced graphics performance compared to PS5. Thanks to its AMD Zen 4-based 8-core processor and advanced GPU with RDNA 3 architecture, it offers 8K resolution gaming.
With 18 GB GDDR6 RAM and a faster dedicated SSD, it minimises loading times and provides a smooth gaming experience. Improvements have been made to ray tracing technology, resulting in more realistic light and shadow effects.
An improved version of the DualSense controller offers more precise haptic feedback and adaptive trigger buttons. PS5 Pro supports PS4 and PS5 games with backwards compatibility, while providing flexibility for gamers with disc and digital version options.
